This is my third Berkeley summer. I can't say that I have gotten entirely used to a non-scorching-hot summer yet, but it certainly is starting to grow on me. I sometimes miss the hot, sweaty days and warm summer nights of the north east. Although to Berkeley's credit, these past few weeks have been AMAZING and perfect weather-wise. Days that are sunny and almost really hot (but not humid) and perfect-sleeping-temperature nights. My little garden has been loving the sun, but not needing mega watering to thrive. I gotta say, it has been pretty fabulous. And just when we have a day that is almost too hot, we are given a day where the fog rolls in and gives us some reprieve. Wait, why do I ever want to move away from here? And let's not fail to mention the produce we have in abundance here. Dear god. I am thinking of asking Monterey Market to marry me, I am that in love. The organic produce: fresh and cheap as all get up. Then I just go outside in front of my building and pick a lemon and some herbs to add to whatever it is I'm making. All. Year. Long...sigh...oh California...
Anyway, I went to the market and bought some glorious fruits and vegetables and made the perfect summer dinner: Salad with some added veggie protein and a fruit salad. Perfect and satisfying.
